Features and Benefits

• 6 and 12 cylinder manifold header options available in Brass, Stainless Steel and Monel 400
• Manifolds are available as a stand-alone item or with rigid or flexbile leads.
• Additional options such as Replaceable Leads (15" or 18") or Extension Kits           (for "K" or "200" size cylinders) are also available
• Every manifold assembly, including the leads, are 100% hydrostatically pressure tested to 1.5 times the MAWP and then 100% nitrogen leak tested.
• Following the pressure test, each assembly is 100% oxygen cleaned, dried, bagged to the highest safety standards including CGA's 4.1 requirements.
• All Weldcoa's flexible lead assemblies meet CGA E-9 Section 4.1.6 Effusion Requirements as well
• Minimum Burst is Four Times Maximum Allowable Working Pressure
• All of Weldcoa's non-metallic lines flexbile leads are manufactured using a true PTFE post-sintered innercore.
• Weldcoa's proprietary post-sintering process follows aerospace techniques which provide the lowest possible effusion rate, the highest flex life and the widest temprature range of any fluoropolmer available. 
• Post-sintering reduces effusion. It provides the lowest effusion rate possible while maintaining the highest flexibility and most robust inner core. This is accomplished during the re-heating process when molecular voids between the PTFE chains are closed even further, making the PTFE more “dense”. By making these voids as small as possible it closes the path a gas will follow while under pressure.
• Weldcoa is now post-sintering PTFE innercore tubing for flexible leads and the focus is strictly on the high pressure gas market. Made to Weldcoa’s strict quality specifications.
• Weldcoa post-sintered flexible leads have passed several difficult levels of testing either by an independent lab or internally in each stage of production.
• Adiabatic Testing/Surge Testing has just been completed at NASA White Sands Test facility by Jacobs Technology.
• All Manifolds and Leads are Made in the USA

Want to Reduce Your Product Loss? Learn About the Benefits of PTFE Post-Sintered Innercore

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluororpolymer of tetrafluoroethylene. The best known brand name of the PTFE-based formula is Teflon® by Chemours. Chemours is a spin-off of DuPont Co., which discovered the compound in 1938.

The post-sintered process re-bakes the PTFE at a controlled time and temperature, increasing the wall thickness and tightening the molecular bond, which dramatically reduces effusion rate. By making these voids as small as possible it closes the path a gas will follow while under pressure making the PTFE more “dense”.

Post-Sintered PTFE provides the lowest effusion rate possible while maintaining the highest flexibility and most robust inner core. 

In the gas industry: the higher the effusion rate, the higher the product ($$$$) loss
